Reed nets OVC Defender of the Week honors

COOKEVILLE, Tenn. — Senior defender Lindsey Reed became
the second Tennessee Tech soccer player in as many weeks to earn
Ohio Valley Conference Player of the Week honors on Tuesday.

Reed was named the league’s Defensive Player of the Week
for her role in the Golden Eagles’ showing at the Adidas
Gamecock Soccer Classic over the weekend.

Reed, her team’s only senior, anchored the defense on a
weekend in which the unit gave up just one goal in 200 minutes of
soccer against strong WAC competition Louisiana Tech (4-1-2) and
New Mexico State (4-2).

She led a shutout of Louisiana Tech on Friday over 110 minutes
of soccer and helped keep NMSU in check after an early goal on
Sunday. Under her leadership, TTU held Louisiana Tech to just three
shots on goal while limiting New Mexico State to six.

Reed played all 200 minutes of action on the weekend and has
played every minute in each of Tech’s six games this
season.

“Lindsey has worked really hard, and she’s playing
outstanding,” head coach Daniel Brizard said.
“She’s our captain, and she is filling that role
perfectly. She has been a warrior on the field for us and someone
who really sets the tone for our team.”

The Golden Eagles return to action this weekend, traveling to
Longwood for a 6 p.m. start Friday before playing at Radford at 1
p.m. Sunday.
